Star Wars inspires us for many reasons with memorable characters, particularly the elder characters. The film reinforces the cultural of the wise elder, people with knowledge and experience. Obi-Wan Kenobi is the clearest example. His guidance and wisdom helps guide Luke Skywalker to the Rebellion, and eventually, the ways of a Jedi.
The Empire also features the wisdom of an elder. Grand Moff Tarkin is the oldest member of the Empire seen in Star Wars, and he is clearly respected. He is the only member of the Empire Darth Vader respects, and takes commands. The remaining members of the military take notice of this. Tarkin’s reputation has come to light more recently in James Luceno’s novel.
